Claud's Market is just 5 miles away in downtown Columbia
Kate's Teahouse and Bakery is a wonderful hotspot in old town Columbia for eats.
At dusk you'll hear a chorus of peeper frogs and crickets. In the morning, you'll experience the country sounds of birds tweeting, the neighbors goat and an occasional horse whinny. You may spot a deer or two walking nearby the house. The wild turkeys have babies!
The night sky is spectacular with the stars spread out for you to enjoy. You can sit back and relax just outside the studio entrance.
Our neighbors are quiet and respectful and enjoy the quiet setting as much as you will. The evenings generally cool down in the summer, as our elevation is 2500ft.
In winter, we seldom get snow, when we do, it is generally only several inches deep.

Cheryl's place was awesome! She stayed up late for us as we were delayed en route. Graciously accommodated changes in dates and occupancy. Made us feel very welcome in general. Lovely home, well decorated, clean, bucolic.

Nick2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

Cheryl's house is simply beautiful! It is spacious and peaceful, Julian, Cheryl's son, was a very smiling and friendly host, it was a great experience. We shared the house with other guests too who were really nice. there was plenty of space to accomodate all of us. We had come there to enjoy Yosemite (which is a little far so it is kind of tricky to get there early but totally within driving ditance) but we were happy to find out that Columbia is actually an enjoyable historical site by itself :) We totally recommend the place!

Cheryl's log cabin is a true retreat! We planned a trip to Yosemite, travelling from SF, and it was the perfect stopping point for a long road trip. We also didn't expect to see the charming old gold rush town of Columbia. The cabin was beautiful. Very cozy, especially with a roaring fire. The surrounding land is very peaceful and makes for some incredible stargazing territory. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area, in particular those looking for a good Yosemite base. Thank you Cheryl!

Matt2015-04-04T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Cheryl was great! The house and the surroundings were lovely, with animals just walking by your window. Cheryl is a very friendly host who really tries to make you feel at home and even served some breakfast! :) During our stay, we visited Yosemite National Park which is about an hour and a half drive away.

Mary is a wonderful host, and her home is spectacular! She made us feel very much at home and took great care of us. Would highly recommend staying with her for a trip to Yellowstone, or to visit Columbia, which is a stunning little town.

Mary's log cabin is so well designed! She is a very fun host and I cannot wait to come back. She custom made her entire front yard's rocks and plants from scratch.

Nicholas2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

Mary was very welcoming. She kept in touch before our check-in date to make sure all my questions were answered. She was extremely flexible with not just our check-in times, but with the other days too. The home is wonderful and our room was beautiful. All made of wood and true to the description. Loved every bit of the stay. Kudos to you, Mary!

My place is in Columbia State Historic Park. You’ll love it because of the natural setting, only 5-minutes walk to the bakery & teahouse and all the other shops and the park visitor center. My place is good for couples, business travelers, and families (with kids). Only three very easy steps up from parking to living spaces.

The boulders in the "front yard" are part of the state park lands... and helped us name our place. This is a great base from which to explore the park on foot, or to take a spin over for lunch and wine-tasting in Murphy's (about 20-min driving), with giant Sequoias in Calaveras Big Trees State Park another 15-min. Moaning Caverns with cave tours also has a terrific zip-line, cave rappelling, and rock climbing and is only 15-minutes' drive.

This is a sweet little retreat for anyone wanting to sit on the porch and read a book, or take a hike. Take a break to walk into the heart of historic Columbia State Historic Park. Find a treat at the old time candy or ice cream shops, or sit down to lunch at Columbia House Restaurant, El Jardin's Mexican Restaurant, Columbia Kate's Tea House or even to sip a beer (or sarsasparilla) at What-Cheer Saloon. An uphill walk to the Old School House site, 1/10-mile, gets you great views out over the valley. State Park trails lead from there into the oak woodlands for even better scenery.

This a large and nice house that you would like to stay! The park is very beautiful with a lot of birds. Mr. Reed is a very nice host that he gave us a lot of suggestions about good restaurants

Chen2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Really great place to stay in Colombia! Super comfy beds and couches, perfect for lounging and hanging out on the awesome porch overlooking a marble Boulder garden was amazing! Totally great place to stay if you're checking out the area! I would 100% come again!

Shaunt2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Great location to spend time in Columbia, Calaveras Big Trees, Caverns and more. House was very comfortable with everything you need for a great stay.

Reed's place was a lovely haven in a beautiful location. Reed was extremely attentive and helpful. We loved how close the cottage was to the historic area, yet so quiet and scenic in it's own country setting. We loved listening to the frogs and crickets at night! It's a shame our stay was so brief, we hope to be back!

Silver Belle is in the Gold Rush Mobilehome Park which is nestled among pine trees and natural boulders with a flowing waterfall for everyone to enjoy. A quiet and peaceful place to rest for day, week or month to enjoy the comforts of county living.

Silver Belle is one of four Airstreams that make up the "Airstream Motor Lodge" located in the Gold Rush Mobilehome Park which is near the Columbia State Historic Park in the Gold Country of California. Close by, but not too close, is the Columbia Airport, Columbia College, live theater, shops, schools and restaurants. We are located approx 1 hr 45 mins from Yosemite National Park. We are also 30-40 mins from Ironstone Vineyard and one hour from Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort.

Enjoy Airstream living here in our quiet mobilehome park.

We had a great time staying here. Thana was the perfect host. We wanted to check in a bit earlier and she was able to accommodate us which was very kind of her. She showed us the workings of the airstream on arrival which was good as we had never stayed in an airstream or caravan before. The airstream itself is great, small (as expected) but with everything you need including airconditioning. It has a variety if games as well to keep you occupied, we loved the mini jenga! All in all, a great positive experience. Thank you Thana for hosting us!

Colin2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

Thana was super responsive and so very sweet! She came by a few times to check on us. The TV wasn't working and she even brought us a new TV even though it was about 8pm at night! The airstream was cute and clean! It is located in a mobile home park with full - timers about 1 mile from Columbia State Park. We had a very unique, fun experience!

We had a Wonderful stay in the Airstream in Sonora - so idyllic! Thana was the perfect host, very easy to communicate with and very flexible. The bed was so good and the rv park so quiet, we had a very good sleep! We had two day trips to Yosemite from the Airstream, that was not a problem - just a nice drive. Thank you so much for the stay!

Einar2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

It was great

Anna2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had a great stay in the adorable Silver Belle Airstream. We stayed for a week driving daily to Yosemite to hike. We miscalculated the distance to the park and our drive turned out to be 2hrs each way, but the drive is beautiful and coming home to the Airstream was well worth it. The interior is small but very comfortable for 2 people. Also, if you feel a little claustrophobic there is a little outdoor sitting area that provides more space and privacy. The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you need to cook a well-rounded meal. However, we preferred using the provided charcoal grill. There are also several good restaurants close by if you'd rather eat out. Thana is an amazing host and super responsive. She provided us with a book of things to do in the area and came by once to see if we needed anything. Overall a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend staying here!

Scottie2016-07-13T00:00:00Z

The location is close to nearby Mother Lode attractions, and very quiet. It is a fantastic place to enjoy some fresh air and experience the fun of living in an Airstream. Highly recommended for an unforgivable gateway!

This upper level studio is across the street from Columbia State Park's "horses only" streets. This gold rush town offers gold panning, a stagecoach ride and charming shops and restaurants. Columbia is about 90 minutes from Yosemite National Park.

This upper level studio has a queen sized bed. The bathroom has a small shower. The mini kitchen provides a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and refrigerator. There is a chair on the tiny balcony so you can sit and drink your coffee in morning. There is some street noise, but nothing that should keep you awake at night.
The Tank House consists of a downstairs studio (one full sized bed) and this upstairs studio (one queen sized bed), both of which can be rented out to the same party, convenient for a family or two couples.
AS LOVELY AS YOUR PETS MAY BE, WE ARE STRICT ON OUR NO PET POLICY.

This apartment is perfect for visiting Columbia State Park. Enjoy all the old-timey features of this historical area, all within arms reach! It is also close to the gold rush towns of Jamestown, Sonora, Murphys, and Angels Camp. It is about an hour and a half from Yosemite National Park. In less than an hour you can drive up Highway 4 to Big Trees State Park or Alpine Lake, or up Highway 108 to Pinecrest Lake or drive over the beautiful Sonora Pass. There are several caverns in the area that offer tours.
The apartment is within walking distance of the tiny local airport, but being a small town, it lacks public transportation.

Walkable to everything in Columbia. The host was extremely friendly and even offered to pick us up at the Columbia airport and gave us a tour of town. We had a great stay, and we wish we could have stayed longer!

Justin2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

place served it's purpose. probably in need of some renovations / upgrades to the electrical side. but they were upfront w the minor flaws. Wi-Fi was shotty, may have got the incorrect pw, so no netflix to end the night or log in to. which sucked for me because my data plan had me roaming the whole time (sprint, in case you're wondering)... I'm 5'8, avg height. shower head I think is @ 5'.. maybe shorter, so the 6'+ crowd would be very uncomfortable... place is an awesome place for exploring & experiencing a good bit of the past. which is why we chose the tank house... I would stay again w certainty

Est2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Clean and comfortable. It was perfect for my boyfriend and me. We would definitely stay again. I highly recommend this cozy and unique studio.

Kristina and her family are very kind and compassionate people. The hospitality they showed was impeccable! The house it self is in a beautiful location as well. Our stay was very comfortable and would highly recommend this Airbnb!

Monika is the perfect host - friendly and welcoming upon arrival. We like her lovely drawing of animals. The place was charming and looks exactly like the pictures, cosy and clean.The neighborhood is quiet.Would stronly recommend to all my friends!

vivi 2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Eveything was ok. The bedroom was large and clean, the bathroom was also very clean, Monika was helpful and accurate in her help. The only snag was the internet connection. Not so good…but I guess, Monika was not at all responsible for that. Just a temporary problem. Regardless, thanks for your welcoming.

cedric2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Monika was a great host, she greeted me on my arrival and was always available to answer any questions about the area, etc. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I visited Yosemite Valley and it took roughly an hour and thirty minutes from Monika's place. The location is close to the Sonora downtown strip so there are many restaurants and grocery stores nearby as well. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here.

Varun2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

Everything was excellent Very clean, peaceful place, very good location and the room is big enough for couple of people. Great view and Monika as a host is the best. Two hours from Yosemite national park but is worth it. The driving is save.

LOCAL AREA
I've lived up here since 1978 and I can tell you where all the best restaurants, shopping, wine-tasting, and recreational areas are. You can play tourist or experience the local area naturally. Either way, I can guide you in the right direction.

I love that my home is located in the back of the neighborhood where traffic is rare, and it's a super quiet and dark place to sleep. Behind the back yard is 60 acres of wild land.
If you prefer an evening stroll or morning run, this is a great and safe neighborhood for it. Please check with me regarding wildlife activity first.
The neighborhood is pristine and quiet, away from traffic and very little neighbor noise. There is only the occasional yard equipment running (lawn mower, blower, etc.), such as on Saturdays.
Because of the drought, much of the yard is left natural, but I try to keep some of the yard watered. The more you help me conserve water, the more I can water my existing plants and trees.

If you are looking for a travel magazine perfect quiet sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Ray and LIsa's home is just the place! I felt I had somehow wandered into another dimension and was actually in a backyard in Tuscany or someplace similar. Ray and Lisa's back yard is the most inviting and lovely place I have experienced in quite some time. I was wound up from travel from Florida, snaful with lodging the night before and wedding stress...you know, meeting and dealing with all the new relatives of my son's new bride, and my ex and his new wife. The backyard with it's magnificent rose trellis where you can sit and gaze at an azure sky framed by roses, the tranquility, birdsong, privacy, sweet and welcoming pets soothed my weary soul like nothing else could. If you are a group person, there are plenty of tables and seating for a barbecue or meal from the well supplied kitchen. (Pots and pans that is. You must supply your own food.) Coffee is supplied, including organic for those in the know. Supermarkets are close, even though you will feel like you are in a remote mountain cabin in the backyard. (Unfortunately, the local supermarkets aren't well supplied with organic fresh produce.) Nothing but green, leafy trees as far as the eye can see. The town of Sonora itself is quaint and has activities for families and singles. Lots of traffic through town but in the off season should be much less. Ray and Lisa's home is a gem - a precious place offering rest and rejuvenation for the weary, and peaceful privacy for families or couples. Wow! is all I can say. Ray and Lisa are kind, friendly and welcoming. Great communication too! Lisa was on site just about all the time and was always available for help or to answer questions. No hassle check-in and out. I love this place! Go and stay there if you can! I certainly will stay again if I return to the area.

Amy2017-05-23T00:00:00Z

We arrived at Lisa's house later than we expected due to the heavy traffic on Friday evening. Lisa was very nice and caring. She checked in with us to make sure we were okay. Once we got to her house, everything was ready and true to the photo... and we were ready to hit the sack! It was clean and peaceful. We had good sleep. She also gave us information and route to Yosemite. Overall, it is a great spot to stay. Only 1 hour drive to Yosemite National Park.

Littlewizard2015-08-31T00:00:00Z

Ray and Lisa were so friendly. The room is nice and big and Lisa made us both feel welcome in her home. We were given helpful information on where to eat and places to visit too, which made our stay great. Yosemite NP wasn't too far away and was a lovely drive to get there. 100% would recommend.

nice accommodation. comfortable room. gracious host. it's a bit difficult to find the house after dark, but we made it just fine. be aware that sprint and virgin mobile phones don't work in Sonora, so don't wait til you get to town to contact your host (like we did). fortunately Xfinity in town offers free wifi so we were able to look up the address.

Lisa was a life saver. After we got stranded at 9 pm on the west side of Yosemite due to a wildfire, Lisa was there for us. Although we got to her place late at night she waited until we arrived to welcome us in. A wonderful host and a comfortable house.

The Green Space is a lush, earthy garden oasis located on a spring-fed creek in the Central Sierra foothills (3 hours east of San Francisco and 1.5 hours to the Yosemite Park boundary). The creek setting is Mother Nature herself and the acre of lush gardens makes this a unique property within the arid Sierran foothill region. The Green Space is secluded yet conveniently located off of Highway 49. Hwy 120 to Yosemite closure alert: (URL HIDDEN)

The Green Space itself is a free standing single-room structure (sitting room with 2 sofas, sleeping loft above, bathroom,) and deck on one side of the creek. It has its own entrance. It has no kitchen or microwave. The creek runs all year and is lined with lots of shade trees. My house is on the opposite side of the creek. A wisteria covered footbridge connects my home to the parking area and the Green Space. In the summer, both dwellings are barely visible amidst the lush vegetation. The Green Space sitting area has 2 couches and a small library of books on the Sierra. The sleeping loft hangs above the sitting area. In the summer, the deck is a great place to sip coffee or kick back with a glass of wine and surrender to the beauty and sound of the creek.

Wildlife and Birds: With the drought come thirsty wildlife like raccoons, possums, skunks, bobcats looking for food and water. These are nocturnal (come out at night) and don’t bother anything. Also included are bees (which I keep 3 hives), bats and mosquitos. Last year a hungry river otter (rare) moved along the creek shoals, eating every fish and crawdad it could catch. Bird life is amazing with hummers, visiting wood ducks, spotted towhees, grosbeaks, yellow breasted chat, red-shouldered hawks, owls, turkeys, red-shafted flickers, flycatchers, Bullocks orioles, acorn woodpeckers, belted kingfishers, robins, house wrens and nuthatches, finches and warblers and more. I have 8 hens (no rooster) and 4 cats that freely roam.

This was the perfect weekend getaway! Barbara was the sweetest host and always made sure we had everything we needed; she made our first Airbnb experience hard to beat! We came here rather than staying in Yosemite since it was so much cheaper and it only took about an hour and a half to get to Yosemite Valley from here. Barbara knew the ins and outs of the park as well as the best ways to get there and what to see along the way. The place itself was so peaceful and relaxing with a private room/bathroom equipped with a wood burning stove and the sound of the stream right outside your window. This was the coziest place, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Megan2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

After a long day traveling and sightseeing, I was very pleased to land at the Green Space for the night. I entered through the garden, and to my delight was greeted by the hostess Barbara, a fluffy black cat, and the music of a bubbling brook! Barbara was very warm, answered all my questions, and showed me to the cottage which was extremely clean, cozy, private, and colorful. My favorite part was the loft bed amd gorgeous woodburning stove. I spent the night with the windows in the loft open to hear the running water for the creek. Quiet, extreme clean, and in a sublime natural setting. Thank you Barbara! I will return again soon for that cup of coffee.

Kelly2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

My partner and I were looking for a quiet place in the country and the Green Space was a perfect match. The studio is quiet and secluded, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek. Barbara is a generous host. She's very knowledgeable about the area and packed the fridge w/yummy snacks. She also offered us fresh eggs from her chickens! We'll definitely come back to visit. Thanks again, Barbara!

What an adorable and cozy little gem, nestled in the most beautiful area right next to a babbling creek. The host is very hospitable and has created a little oasis in nature. The wood burning stove was an extra treat and kept the cabin warm and cozy. I loved the comfortable loft bed with a view of the creek. Charming in every way! We can't wait to come back!

Brian2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The lovely Green Space is just as it appears, a comforting retreat. What cannot be seen, only felt, is the magic of the the setting, and the perception and kindness of the hostess. You will be glad you chose this one. There is a gentle peace here that is restful and restorative. Barbara was more than generous-a font of knowledge about the area and even served me 'nettle tea' after I mentioned how much I enjoy it. Very thoughtful indeed. The wood stove is great, easy to light and provides enjoyment of the fire along with heat. Comfy, cosy and a genuine treat.

My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend at Doug's beautiful home. Everything about the stay was amazing his home was beautifully decorated we felt at home right away. Doug is a gracious host he had prepare maps and brochure of things to do around town and also told us about many unique place for us to visit. We had an wonderful time better than any hotel we stayed at. The complementary snack, chocolate, and drinks was just an icing on the cake. We are already planning on another visit. Thank you,Doug!

Host was out of town but readily available by phone and very responsive. The home is just as pictured (really lovely) and incredibly well stocked with everything one could need. Great location for touring gold rush country!

Diana2015-07-03T00:00:00Z

We were in town for a wedding and we found the perfect spot in Doug's lovely home. Everything we needed was there and more with lots of thoughtful touches. The home was so comfortable and charming we didn't want to leave so soon! Although we didn't meet Doug in person his communication was prompt and thorough. The house was right down the road from the wedding at Union Hill to boot! A great place to stay!

Liz2015-05-10T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Doug's place! There were wonderful little notes and touches throughout that made us feel welcome and that provided a lot of information about the house and the surrounding area. We also enjoyed freshly picked fruit from the peach, pear and plum trees out the side door! Thanks for the nice experience.

Emilie2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

Doug and his wife were great hosts! Though I didn't get to meet them, checking in was easy, they had great refreshments and a beautiful home! If I stay in Sonora again, I know where to go!

Doug's house in Columbia was fantastic! The place is very cozy and feels like home. Right by downtown Sonora, which is a nice eclectic little town. Also an easy drive to Yosemite, which we explored while in town. Doug is such a great host, leaves helpful notes, and stocks up the fridge with snacks and drinks! Would definitely stay again if in town.

MacRae2015-08-26T00:00:00Z

I stayed at Doug's place during August for a wedding in Sonora (so it was hot). The location was perfect and the house itself was great. I was not able to meet Doug in person, but all communication with him before and during the trip was responsive, friendly, and polite. One example is at one point during the trip we discovered the wifi was not working. I messaged Doug, and he responded immediately. He apologized for the inconvenience and had it up and running again in less than thirty minutes. It just goes to show that he takes pride in the service he provides and will do what it takes to make things right. The house had a lot of nice touches: water and drinks available in the fridge, snacks, simple breakfast stuff, fully stocked spices in the kitchen, maps of the area, handwritten suggestions for activities, and the list goes on and on. My only recommendation is to be aware the house is two stories, and the rented portion is the lower half. It stays nice and insulated from temperature extremes, but there is a possibility that someone may be in the above the unit at times. We never heard anything or had any issues, but it is worth noting if others read the review. Overall, if I am ever in need for a place in the area, this will be it.

Sarah and Stan were great hosts and easy to get a hold of anytime. The place was perfect for our two day Yosemite trip. It's located in a great area and very close to downtown Sonora. They left us breakfast and snacks the next morning for our trip which was perfect. The cookies and scones were amazing.

Jessica2015-02-17T00:00:00Z

Stayed here during our trip to Yosemite and rafting the Tuolumne River.

Cathy2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely three night stay in Sonora at John's place. The cottage is cosy and quiet, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, as well as being only a 5 minute walk into town. It was perfect for what we needed.

Bryony2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

This cabin is lovely -- clean, cozy, has a full kitchen and wonderful decor throughout. The whole property is designed and maintained with a lot of care. John was a kind host -- very responsive to my inquiries! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

janet2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Sonora is a quaint town near great hiking. Place is perfect. Rustic but modern. Small but spacious. Easy walk to town or drive to amazing hiking. Easy to access and has everything you need.

Ryan2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

Exactly what we were looking for... super clean, walking distance to downtown and very private house. Perfect.

Carlee2014-07-25T00:00:00Z

The cottage was fresh and had a rugged and cabin feel to it. No problems finding it and close to the downtown area for coffee and dinner. Our host John was very accommodating and responsive to our stay. On thing to keep in mind for future travelers is Sprint has 0 signal and you will be roaming throughout Sonora. Verizon had no issues anywhere. There was wireless at the house so checking your emails should not be a problem.

Baby Bear is one of four Airstreams that make up the "Airstream Motor Lodge" located in the Gold Rush Mobilehome Park which is near the Columbia State Historic Park in the Gold Country of California. Close by, but not too close, is the Columbia Airport, Columbia College, live theater, shops, schools and restaurants. We are located approx 1 hr 45 mins from Yosemite National Park. We are also 30-40 mins from Ironstone Vineyard and one hour from Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort.

Papa Bear is one of four Airstreams that make up the "Airstream Motor Lodge" located in the Gold Rush Mobilehome Park which is near the Columbia State Historic Park in the Gold Country of California. Close by, but not too close, is the Columbia Airport, Columbia College, live theater, shops, schools and restaurants. We are located approx 1 hr 45 mins from Yosemite National Park. We are also 30-40 mins from Ironstone Vineyard and one hour from Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort.

Silver Dream in is the Gold Rush Mobilehome Park which is a senior park for those 55+ and older. This is quiet park in the country. Most spaces are separated with trees, bushes or boulders that create enough private area to call your own

The Baby Airstream is located in an ideal spot - close to both Columbia and Sonora. There's also a convenience store a short walk away if you need/forget anything. If you're a light sleeper, the street noise might be an issue, but we just ran the heater and the "white noise" got rid of that for us. Check-in was super easy, and the manager was very helpful and communicative throughout. Nice having a kitchen to cook in and a refrig and freezer, in case you don't want to eat out for every meal. (There's a supermarket in Sonora where you can stock up.)

Erin2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at this Airstream and would love to go back. The Airstream is ideal for a small family (we were just one adult and two ten year olds) and it was perfect for us. I found it a better value than a hotel as we had a full kitchen and bath and each our own sleeping area. Thana was a great hostess with great follow-up. The community is very quiet so I wouldn't advise it for louder groups. It's a great base station for visiting Columbia, Sonora, and possibly Yosemite!

Fantastic is the word for this house!i like Kathleen very much even though I haven't seen her because some reasons have to been there.but I can feel Kathleen is a perfect master from every details of her lovely (URL HIDDEN) contact me on time and her son treat us so warmly.Kathleen's house is so so beautiful,it's colorful,elegant,article,and perfect.i think Kathleen likes photograph very much because we can found great photography's books everywhere in her room. I like every morning sit on her cute bed next to the window,read the books and watch the yard outside the window in the same time,it's a wonderful memory I've never had before even though I have been a lot of countries before. We made our breakfast in her lovely kitchen which has kinds of kitchen wears you can't image,we listen to the country music,eat foods,and talk,had fun with her sweet cat,what a magic and indelible memory!!!

Wow! ... it was hard to leave. Kathleen's home is warm and cozy, peaceful and relaxing. It has everything and room enough for everyone. The beds are cozy (super important to me) and the kitchen was amazing ... just bring your food, everything else is there. Mom and I used Kathleen's house for our Christmas get away, it was decorated and Kathleen was there to greet us along with Ethel the cat and a loaf of home made banana bread (I didn't share it). Close to so much but tucked away in the quiet hills. I took my sewing machine and enjoyed a whole day in the nook with Windows all around and views of the gorgeous gardens. Another day we went out and explored. You won't be disappointed. Happy New Year 2016!

Ronda2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Kathleen's house was great; a beautiful home, beautiful setting, very comfortable. The aesthetic beauty of this home added a lot to our experience: the furnishings, the artwork, obviously an artist's home. Kathleen was very welcoming and friendly. Her cat Ethel warmed up to us also. The house is very well equipped and furnished. We had to prepare a potluck dish for a party we attended, and the kitchen had everything we needed. No wi-fi, but that was't a big issue. The air conditioning was welcomed in the warm weather.

Paul2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

Maison Rustique is an amazing place to stay! My family was traveling around Yosemite right after my wife and I got married. All of us was stunned when we arrived. The house is beautiful, well decorated and it definitely looks nicer than in the pictures. We didn't have a chance to meet Kathleen that night but she got everything well prepared to made us feel at home. She left the frontdoor and its lights opened and also put bagals, toasts and nectarines in the refrigerator for our breakfast. She came to meet and greet us the next day and told us her stories about this lovely house. Staying at Maison Rustique and meeting Kathleen was quite an experience. My wife and I have decided to come here again on our anniversary.

Bob and Laurie had a well thought out suite with every detail in the posting description outfitted to perfection. The bed was incredibly comfortable and it was very pleasant to wake up to the sound of the little waterfall outside our room. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast inside our room at our fingertips and that we were given the freedom to come and go as we pleased. We had a great stay and plan to stay again. I definitely suggest this suite as an AirBnB option if you want to be close to downtown Sonora but just far enough to where you're not in the middle of the noise. Thanks again for such lovely accommodations!

Danielle2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

It was a lovely experience to stay in this homestay. The small gestures by hosts make you feel welcome into their comfortable home. The best thing is that everything is perfectly communicated and small notes are there in the room to guide you. It is really value for money to get an experience of the quaint charms of Sonora in this house.

Kaustubh2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

What an amazing listing! We are super tired after a long day in Yosemite, and this was the perfect comfortable place to come back. Laurie and Bob had thought of lots of little things that make the stay all the more comfortable. Anyone who stays here - it's a great spot and worth every penny! Plus it's walking distance to downtown! :)

Graham2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Laurie and Bob's home was perfect - private, cozy, and safe. The care they put into their home and guests' stay was clear - chocolates on the pillow, lots of clean towels, fresh fruit and breakfast, and cool water in the fridge on a hot day! The tips on the museums in the area, as well as a multitude of literature on the area, was incredibly useful for my stay. They are wonderful hosts, and I recommend anyone in the area staying in their almost-cottage!

jane rebecca2015-06-27T00:00:00Z

Laurie's room was absolutely gorgeus. We arrived really late and tired but the welcome sign on the door and welcoming chocholates and fruits cheered us right away. Everything was perfect and the room was spotless. Laurie was really nice, she kind of reminded me of my mom. I would recommend this place to anybody. So if you want to go to yosemite or just to check out sonora, laurie's place is the best option!

Maja2014-07-22T00:00:00Z

It's a perfect and private little room off the road in a quiet street - and the hosts, Bob and Laurie are just fantastic - really helpful and friendly. The room is full of stuff and lots of things to do and information to read. You have to check out the museum (old jail house) about 200 steps up the street.

Darcy2014-08-14T00:00:00Z

Lauri and Bob have a great place here! The room is very nice. It's neat, clean, and has everything one could want for a visit. They were very welcoming, both in terms of communications, and in terms of preparing the room for my arrival. The weather was warm, so they even had the air conditioning running so the room was cool & nice for sleeping when I arrived late in the evening. They have an amazing array of information available too - ranging from a thick binder with sleeves containing information about local points of interest, to a book on photographing nearby Yosemite, to hikes along the Highway 108 corridor. All of this way laid out for me upon my arrival. The location is great too. It's very easy to reach, and parking is a cinch, even though it's right in town. The proximity to downtown made it easy to walk downtown for breakfast. The neighborhood is quiet as well. I'd definitely recommend Lauri & Bob's place to anyone wanting a nice and convenient place to stay in central Sonora.

Bill2015-06-15T00:00:00Z

We stayed with Laurie and Bob on out way to Yosemite and it was great! Laurie welcomed us with a big smile and Bob waved through his kitchen window - just the way you would expect it when visiting friends at home. The room is very nice, has a seperate entrence, a fridge and everything else you need to feel comfy. We enjoyed our stay very much, thank you Laurie and Bob!
